No problem buddy! Anytime!

My suggestion for the air cleaner is to get one with as big of an air filter element as possible to reduce potential for restriction. I personally hate downloads, The Powercommander or SERT or something similiar is the lesser of the "FI" evils presently available.

I agree with Mega,

The harley downloads are CRAP. Both the SERT and PCIII are very good pieces of equipment. I personally like the SERT better because of the broader tuning range, but to each his own. You will be a happy camper when you are done.

Yeah, I also agree with Terry on this. I normally only recommend the Powercommander when I think its ease of use will be a bigger benefit to the end user over the added flexibility of the SERT. SERT's do have a learning curve thats steeper than the PCIII and more dealerships and independents seem to be able to use the PCIII easier with better results. If you plan on doing all this yourself and computer programs dont daunt you, by all means go with the SERT. Just be sure to get a DTT WEGOII and Twin Scan 88+ tool to help you dial it in.

The DTT(Daytona Twin Tec : http://www.daytona-twintec.com )WEGOII is basically a wide band a/f monitor, and the Twin scan 88 is a diagnostic tool that works with the SERT and the WEGO to dial your custom map perfectly. http://www.daytona-sensors.com/Twin_Scan.html
